No Kendamil stock.

I've waited to buy formula so it would be more “fresh,” but now I can’t find any. I'm starting to panic, as I don’t plan to BF. Has anyone bought some recently?

Bottle feeding

Sorry if this sounds silly however I come across allot of posts where people say that their LO's feed 4/5 ounces every 3/4 hours. My LO feeds 3 ounces every 2 hours so does this equate to 6 ounces every 4 hours.. like does everyones LO's feed 4/5 ounces in one go or can it be spread out.

We are exclusively bottle feeding and wanting to feed both expressed breast milk and formula but going in a bit blind on the topic. Can we feed breast milk in the day and then formula through the night? Wasn’t sure if there was a recommended way or schedule to follow.
